What does it mean to have confidence because of our union with Christ?
Answered in 1 source
Having confidence from our union with Christ means relying on His righteousness and intercession rather than our own merits.
David illustrates that our confidence during trials stems from our union with Christ, which assures us of His presence and support. This union means that our righteousness comes from Christ's obedience, and our prayers are efficacious because He intercedes on our behalf. When we understand that our place in God's family is not dependent on our efforts or failures, we can face life's challenges with assurance. As Romans 8:31-39 makes clear, nothing can separate us from God's love, affirming that our relationship with Christ provides the ultimate security and confidence in our spiritual journey.
